Hahaha I saw this after bailing on another post. Like 80% of the time I think better of it. My comments tend to actually get posted when I'm in bed half asleep. Apparently I'm more willing to share when I'm mentally impaired from tiredness
I don't have a lot of information about this but in the Before Times I worked with a couple of people who operated a side business of getting groceries and running errands for housebound or elderly people. They didn't advertise, it was word of mouth, but it is something you could consider.
You could put up flyers and put them in areas that your target demographic hangs out (VFW, senior center, the grocery store bulletin board). Use large, bold font.
The way they handled it required more personal interaction (going over receipts with someone vs. their shopping list) but once they had a few regulars it was a fine business. It didn't make much but I think they wanted it to be closer to a service than a massive money maker.
Just something to consider if you feel the new apps (which can be a barrier to the elderly) aren't meeting your needs.
Some tribes have been in legal battles over the past few decades because they're trying to disenroll people no matter how "native" they are. IIRC at least one tribe was limiting membership to only the descendants of the families that signed a specific treaty and then only if they had the paperwork to back it up. Which, if you know anything about the history of natives in this country, is really fucked up to require.
Not the one I remember but here's an example of a tribe disenrolling people regardless of their "blood quantum":
I had a Cat Genie for years and loved it. Like others, they're a bit of a pain to take apart and clean when you need to.
It also had a draw back of sometimes missing a small piece, washing it, then blowing hot air on it to stink up the whole place.
But overall I was happy with it. The only reason I don't have one now is my living situation changed and I don't have room for it (requires water hookup and a drain).
Yes what I mentioned may sound annoying but consider this: we had ours hooked up to a laundry drain and had to do no scooping. Ever. We didn't even have to flush the toilet. Every once in a while we'd plug in a special cartridge to do a self clean cycle, and once a year we'd take it apart to clean the internal section (but honestly it didn't need this except once due to hard water buildup).
You don't have to do anything and it always had washed and clean litter. Every once in a while it got a little stinky but what litterbox doesn't?!
Look, we all know about the back pain and chair sitting. But now that I'm old and have back pain this pose he's doing here TOTALLY screams, "My back is fucked, the second this take is over I'm going to lean forward to complete the stretch."
I work outdoors, often in remote locations. Phrases I have used:
Make friends with a tree.
Speak with a tree/have a conversation with a tree.
Commune with the bushes.
Wander over this way alone.
My field partner often speaks of watering or fertilizing the forest, which I find distasteful because it gives a sense of which act they're performing and I really don't need to know that about my boss.
